Former Gov. John Hickenlooper may have set a new fundraising record for a Democratic U.S. Senate candidate in Colorado with $4.1 million raised in Q1 — besting the $4 million quarter posted by former Sen. Mark Udall in Q3 2014. Hickenlooper also outraised incumbent Republican Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) by about 65%. Hickenlooper’s big Q1 […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) If a COVID-19 vaccine is developed, what about so-called “anti-vaxxers” who refuse it for religious or philosophical reasons? It turns out Colorado, where vaccinations are currently recommended but not required for adults, has the authority to force you to roll up your sleeve and get the shot. But experts say it’s […]
A result from the Republican cyber-assemblies this weekend worth noting: in Senate District 8, the seat formerly held by Randy “Boob Grabber” Baumgardner and now being defended by appointed Sen. Bob Rankin of Glenwood Springs, an insurgent conservative Republican primary challenger has upstaged the establishment pick. Debra Irvine, former Summit County GOP chair and repeat […]

Republican George Brauchler represents Arapahoe County and parts of a few other counties as the District Attorney in the 18th Judicial District. Brauchler failed at two statewide campaigns in 2018 — first for Governor, then for Attorney General — and is term-limited in 2020. In recent months Brauchler has been prepping for a post-government career […]
Responding to the latest damage control efforts from the Trump administration over the co-opting of 500 ventilators previously bound for Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis was more diplomatic than we could ever hope to be–but did not change the state’s position, via the Colorado Sun’s Unaffiliated newsletter today: A Polis spokesman did not address the FEMA […]

As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports–it would appear somebody has come to the conclusion that last week’s public relations debacle for Sen. Cory Gardner, who tried to turn the negative story of an order by the state of Colorado for 500 ventilator machines snatched up by the federal government into a positive via a […]
On Monday, President Trump held a 2 1/2 hour coronavirus briefing that was mostly about self-congratulation and media bashing. As Ashley Parker writes for The Washington Post: Yet in the middle of this deadly pandemic that shows no obvious signs of abating, the president made clear that the paramount concern for Trump is Trump — […]
As Politico reports: Bernie Sanders endorsed Joe Biden on Monday during a surprise appearance on the former vice president’s livecast. Sanders, who formally suspended his campaign last week, said he needed everyone — not just his supporters — to back Biden and make sure that President Trump becomes a one-term president. “Today, I am asking […]
MSN reports the results of a (full disclosure) Microsoft News poll: As COVID-19 cases continue to increase across the United States, state governors must assess the situation and make decisions on stay-at-home orders, business closures and rally services to respond to health care needs. Americans’ views on how their state governors are handling the coronavirus […]

The latest data from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment shows that Weld County, with a population around 350,000, now has the most number of COVID-19 fatalities of any county in the state–more than several counties with around twice Weld County’s population including the City and County of Denver. We noted a week […]
In case you missed it last Friday night, there was an ugly coda to the spectacular failure last week by Sen. Cory Gardner to turn the lemon of the Trump administration’s co-opting of 500 ventilators sought by the state of Colorado into arithmetically challenged “lemonade” of a mere 100 ventilators after Gardner’s “personal request” to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) When U.S. Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) gets on a plane Monday, to head back to Washington, he has “no plans” to wear a mask. That should surprise no one who’s been paying attention to the Colorado Congressman, who said last month that it’s “just craziness” to shut down businesses due to […]
Kim McGahey, former Summit County school board member and county GOP chairman now running for the Colorado House in HD-61, has got this whole coronavirus pandemic thing figured out! His drop-what-you’re-doing letter to the editor at the Summit Daily News, and we all know newspaper letters to the editor are the gold standard for peer-reviewed […]
The Colorado Springs Independent’s Jeanne Davant reported yesterday that a threatened withdrawal of support by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from drive-up COVID-19 testing programs could impact local efforts: The Federal Emergency Management Agency has ended support for community COVID-19 testing sites effective April 10, leaving in doubt the future of the drive-up test […]

As the COVID-19 pandemic escalated into a global emergency, and particularly in recent weeks as even many political conservatives in the United States began to take the crisis seriously, Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado emerged as a national symbol of opposition to both public health orders to control the spread and stimulus spending to soften […]

Yesterday, Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado in concert with America’s Twitterer-in-chief rolled out a multimedia PR package “celebrating” the delivery due to a personal request from Gardner to Donald Trump of 100 new ventilator machines to our state from the Strategic National Stockpile. This rollout included a Tweet to the President’s tens of millions of […]

Cory Gardner’s Washington, D.C. office and tell him to investigate the alleged co-opting of 500 ventilators the state of Colorado tried to buy to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic by the federal government–this after President Trump himself told states to […]
UPDATE #2: In a clip sure to outrage anyone who knows the full context of the story, Sen. Cory Gardner went on Fox News this morning to celebrate the 100 ventilators he snagged as a personal favor from President Donald Trump–presumably out of the 500 the Trump administration bought out from under Colorado: ICYMI ➡️I […]
As Politico reports, President Trump is again saying the quiet part out loud regarding efforts to increase mail-in voting options around the country: President Donald Trump on Wednesday directed Republicans to “fight very hard” against efforts to expand mail-in voting amid the coronavirus pandemic, suggesting that such a shift in ballot-casting practices would yield unfavorable […]
UPDATE: From The Washington Post: Sanders’s decision closes one of the most remarkable chapters in modern political history. His advocacy for sweeping liberal ideas, such as Medicare-for-all and tuition-free public college, shifted the national debate over the role of government. His unexpected success in the first three primary contests made him the best-performing socialist contender […]
